^*~^¨¨¨¨¨¨ the honey is a reddish amber, very ¨¨¨¨¨¨^~*^
*~^¨¨¨¨¨¨¨ viscous (but still pourable). it smells ¨¨¨¨¨¨¨^~*
~^¨¨¨¨¨¨¨¨ slightly of eucalyptus, and has a ¨¨¨¨¨¨¨¨^~
^¨¨¨¨¨¨¨¨¨ mostly bitter taste. ¨¨¨¨¨¨¨¨¨^
~^¨¨¨¨¨¨¨¨ ¨¨¨¨¨¨¨¨^~
*~^¨¨¨¨¨¨¨ it's highly addictive, and possess ¨¨¨¨¨¨¨^~*
^*~^¨¨¨¨¨¨ strong psychotropic effects. ¨¨¨¨¨¨^~*^

##@^*~^¨¨¨ the honey materializes in vaccuums ¨¨¨^~*^@##
#@^*~^¨¨¨¨ within any labyrinthine space. the more ¨¨¨¨^~*^@#
@^*~^¨¨¨¨¨ folded and ambiguous, the faster it ¨¨¨¨¨^~*^@
^*~^¨¨¨¨¨¨ emerges. the cavernous systems under ¨¨¨¨¨¨^~*^
*~^¨¨¨¨¨¨¨ the desert of kirugu serves this ¨¨¨¨¨¨¨^~*
~^¨¨¨¨¨¨¨¨ purpose very well - the lizards use ¨¨¨¨¨¨¨¨^~
^¨¨¨¨¨¨¨¨¨ pumps to empty small boxes or jars of ¨¨¨¨¨¨¨¨¨^
~^¨¨¨¨¨¨¨¨ air, which then are left overnight and ¨¨¨¨¨¨¨¨^~
*~^¨¨¨¨¨¨¨ harvested the next day. ¨¨¨¨¨¨¨^~*
^*~^¨¨¨¨¨¨ ¨¨¨¨¨¨^~*^
@^*~^¨¨¨¨¨ most spaces are somewhat mazelike, and ¨¨¨¨¨^~*^@
#@^*~^¨¨¨¨ it's not uncommon for lizards in kirugu ¨¨¨¨^~*^@#
##@^*~^¨¨¨ veszelle city to keep a few jars (often ¨¨¨^~*^@##
###@^*~^¨¨ hanged from the ceiling in metal crowns ¨¨^~*^@###
####@^*~^¨ made for this purpose). however, these ¨^~*^@####
###@^*~^¨¨ may take weeks to fill. ¨¨^~*^@###

*~^¨¨¨¨¨¨¨ the drug is used by the lizards in ¨¨¨¨¨¨¨^~*
^*~^¨¨¨¨¨¨ these small (but often continuous) ¨¨¨¨¨¨^~*^
@^*~^¨¨¨¨¨ doses. this heightens the senses ¨¨¨¨¨^~*^@
#@^*~^¨¨¨¨ somewhat but at the cost of a lessened ¨¨¨¨^~*^@#
##@^*~^¨¨¨ ability to multi-task - context ¨¨¨^~*^@##
###@^*~^¨¨ switching might take longer and be more ¨¨^~*^@###
####@^*~^¨ confusing. ¨^~*^@####

^*~^¨¨¨¨¨¨ multitasking becomes very hard (the ¨¨¨¨¨¨^~*^
*~^¨¨¨¨¨¨¨ thought does not occur). senses more ¨¨¨¨¨¨¨^~*
~^¨¨¨¨¨¨¨¨ acute but "unimportant" (ignored). ¨¨¨¨¨¨¨¨^~
^¨¨¨¨¨¨¨¨¨ inner perceptions take the upper hand, ¨¨¨¨¨¨¨¨¨^
~^¨¨¨¨¨¨¨¨ abstraction and memory faculties are ¨¨¨¨¨¨¨¨^~
*~^¨¨¨¨¨¨¨ sharpened severely. slight telepathy ¨¨¨¨¨¨¨^~*
^*~^¨¨¨¨¨¨ (mostly moods) with other honey eaters. ¨¨¨¨¨¨^~*^
@^*~^¨¨¨¨¨ sense of thirst dissappears. still easy ¨¨¨¨¨^~*^@
#@^*~^¨¨¨¨ to move around the body (if so ¨¨¨¨^~*^@#

#@^*~^¨¨¨¨ the honey eater becomes unresponsive to ¨¨¨¨^~*^@#
@^*~^¨¨¨¨¨ normal stimuli, but able to override ¨¨¨¨¨^~*^@
^*~^¨¨¨¨¨¨ their own senses with dreamlike ¨¨¨¨¨¨^~*^
*~^¨¨¨¨¨¨¨ imagery. sharing of thoughts with other ¨¨¨¨¨¨¨^~*
~^¨¨¨¨¨¨¨¨ eaters, mood reading of those who stay ¨¨¨¨¨¨¨¨^~
^¨¨¨¨¨¨¨¨¨ sober (worth noting that the thoughts ¨¨¨¨¨¨¨¨¨^
~^¨¨¨¨¨¨¨¨ are very fragmented and hard to ¨¨¨¨¨¨¨¨^~
*~^¨¨¨¨¨¨¨ decipher, unless you are at a similar ¨¨¨¨¨¨¨^~*
^*~^¨¨¨¨¨¨ level of spoons). at this point the ¨¨¨¨¨¨^~*^
@^*~^¨¨¨¨¨ body is hard to move, and starts losing ¨¨¨¨¨^~*^@
#@^*~^¨¨¨¨ water. ¨¨¨¨^~*^@#

@^*~^¨¨¨¨¨ is intermittent thought sharing with ¨¨¨¨¨^~*^@
^*~^¨¨¨¨¨¨ sober persons (although ¨¨¨¨¨¨^~*^
*~^¨¨¨¨¨¨¨ unintelligible). memeories are sharded ¨¨¨¨¨¨¨^~*

@^*~^¨¨¨¨¨ ^^^^^^^^^^^ ¨¨¨¨¨^~*^@
#@^*~^¨¨¨¨ ¨¨¨¨^~*^@#
##@^*~^¨¨¨ most deaths are due to loss of water - ¨¨¨^~*^@##
###@^*~^¨¨ thirst is one of the last senses to ¨¨^~*^@###
####@^*~^¨ restable after coming down, often gone ¨^~*^@####
###@^*~^¨¨ for up to twenty four hours. at higher ¨¨^~*^@###
##@^*~^¨¨¨ doses it's hard to move, even if you ¨¨¨^~*^@##
#@^*~^¨¨¨¨ would remember drinking (which is also ¨¨¨¨^~*^@#
@^*~^¨¨¨¨¨ made harder by the attention focusing ¨¨¨¨¨^~*^@
^*~^¨¨¨¨¨¨ properties of the honey). ¨¨¨¨¨¨^~*^
*~^¨¨¨¨¨¨¨ ¨¨¨¨¨¨¨^~*
~^¨¨¨¨¨¨¨¨ people are known to suffer injuries ¨¨¨¨¨¨¨¨^~
^¨¨¨¨¨¨¨¨¨ from being still in unfavourable ¨¨¨¨¨¨¨¨¨^
~^¨¨¨¨¨¨¨¨ climates for too long, sometimes to the ¨¨¨¨¨¨¨¨^~
*~^¨¨¨¨¨¨¨ point of death. another danger is ¨¨¨¨¨¨¨^~*
^*~^¨¨¨¨¨¨ actually locomotion of the body... ¨¨¨¨¨¨^~*^
@^*~^¨¨¨¨¨ walking around is still somewhat ¨¨¨¨¨^~*^@
#@^*~^¨¨¨¨ possible after losing sight, which have ¨¨¨¨^~*^@#
##@^*~^¨¨¨ lead to seveal falls. additionally, ¨¨¨^~*^@##
###@^*~^¨¨ robberies of the intoxicated are common. ¨¨^~*^@###
####@^*~^¨ ¨^~*^@####
###@^*~^¨¨ lastly, albeit very rare, it's possible ¨¨^~*^@###
##@^*~^¨¨¨ to die of pure overdose (on the scale ¨¨¨^~*^@##
#@^*~^¨¨¨¨ of jars of honey) before being killed ¨¨¨¨^~*^@#
@^*~^¨¨¨¨¨ by thirst. there are rumors that this ¨¨¨¨¨^~*^@
^*~^¨¨¨¨¨¨ leaves "ghosts", who will still share ¨¨¨¨¨¨^~*^
*~^¨¨¨¨¨¨¨ their thoughts long after their bodies ¨¨¨¨¨¨¨^~*
~^¨¨¨¨¨¨¨¨ are dead and gone. ¨¨¨¨¨¨¨¨^~
